I went to this business to get a $22$ "Shine" level car wash. My car wasn't terribly dirty, I just wanted it to look nice for the long weekend. I came out of the other side of the car wash and had to instantly leave the parking lot because it was crowded and there was nowhere to stop and look at the car. When I was finally able to stop and look at the car, it was still dirty. The car wash did a terrible job. I called the number on my receipt, which was the corporate offices and what they told me was that I should've paid for a higher level wash if I wanted my car to be cleaner. That is not an acceptable answer to me. They said that there was no phone at the location, but that I could email the general manager who oversaw the location on Villa Avenue, Fairfield CT, to report my displeasure with the job and to see how he wanted to handle it. Mr. Amso never responded to my email. I will never go back to Russell Speeders car wash in any location. They are a total rip off, and do not stand behind their product/workmanship. read more

They just opened in Middletown, they have sign all over the plaza where they are located FREE WASH . I pulled in they told me the free wash was over , there are signs everywhere saying free car wash .want to sell you a membership, if the free wash promotion is over take down the signs very deceptive I would have considered a membership but I will not be back read more

Car wash is fine, but they push a one-month discount car wash program and fail to mention that at the end of the one-month program, they will automatically charge your credit card every month at a higher fee. I only noticed this when I got home and read the receipt. I don't think that is honest. I had to figure out how to cancel it on line. read more

On my phone I accepted their invitation to generate a coupon for a free car wash at their Westport Avenue, Norwalk location. The attendant rejected my coupon, saying that it had already been used. I told her that I had just generated the coupon before turning into their driveway, but "I can't help you." I had to turn the car around in a tight area. I wrote to the company, which answered on my third try: no help offered; just a veiled reference that the problem is my fault. --- We haven't had any issues with redeeming our free car washes. If someone uses your information to redeem a free wash, the system would prevent it from being used again. Unfortunately, we cannot override the system, as it resets every six months. I recommend speaking with the General Manager at this location to see if there are any other available coupons for you at this time. Thank you, --- If I ever go back to a Russell Speeders, I will deserve the service I do not get. My regret is that Yelp doesn't allow zero star reviews. read more

Old customer Fred's yesterday went to the in Norwalk. Great experience! I don't know where they found such great people, but Alejandro, David and Jonathan were extremely helpful. and watching the other staff interact with other customers, I would say that the rest of the team were pleasant and helpful at a level. You don't see much these days. The car wash was great and now there are cleaning products and towels for you to use free with the free vacuums. I was surprised at how good the quality of the wash was. My only complaint is that the staff are working really hard to help the customers and even though they're not actually towel drying your car anymore (no need comes out mostly sry) they're providing a lot of other help and support but there's no tip jar. I really hope the new management will reconsider this. People like me like to reward good service and everyone could use a little extra these days. read more

Good service! Good car wash for the monthly fee. There are sometimes long lines but it goes fairly quickly. You can vacuum and do additional cleaning on the side. read more

I've been going here long before it was called Russell Speeders--probably for about 20 years. It used to be the Route 7 Car Wash, but only got better as Russell Speeders. The lines always move quickly and with my monthly pass I can get on the express line which scans the QR code on my windshield. I've never had a problem over all that time. Of course, the cost of the monthly pass has gone up, but then again everything has! It's still a bargain compared to places like Splash which costs considerably more and takes longer to go through. read more

Horrible customer service and the car doesn't even come out clean. Entrance is also a mess and unorganized.

Their cancellation procedures are still ridiculous. And, the phone number for the Norwalk location does not work. Their website is lip service to "customer service" with no real way to reach the company. They do a decent job on my car, but I no longer need them. Anyone else had this problem? read more

i paid 47.00 to have the indoor vacuumed,,I had to ask the guy to redo it ,I think Splash in westport does a much better job for the cost,

Here in Norwalk they charge you additional for vacuum services. Other locations it's free! It should be free at all locations because you have their membership! read more

Russell Speeders - Here in Norwalk you have to pay for vacuum services but other locations is free. It should be free specially when you have the membership! - Car Wash Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Terrible service. Rip off. Charges made unauthorized. $10.00 for the car vacuum service. And good luck with cancelling your absurdly expensive monthly plan, which they raise for no reason at all. Clearly, they exist to take your money. Stay away from this shady place... read more

Avoid! and please do not fall for the sales pitch of the ground staff. They will sell and promise you anything to have you signed up. I had one car that i was paying for $19.99/month, when I brought my second car to the car wash and since I didn't have membership on the 2nd, I had to go through the sales pitch. I did fall for that and signed for another $19.99 per month on my second car. Checking my bill the first month, it stayed true to what they said, but then Oct/Nov/Dec one of them went to $47 per month and then in Jan '24 the first also went to $29 per month, so now I am paying $77 per month for just a drive through car wash. Arguing with the ground staff did not help and they asked me to call a phone number that happened to be an automated message. Somehow I landed with Customer Service who could not explain what happened. She could not even send me a copy of my contract as she said they don't have access to that. Wonderful, so you get robbed by false information, price hike with no warning, can't even dispute the charge. I have nothing against the car wash service itself, I think what they provide is fine, but they get you in the false billing read more

These guys are the best! Great value for the money They make car washing fun and always provide excellent customer service. read more

Russell Speeders - Carwash area - Car Wash Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Im so upset. I have been using this car wash for 2 years. They recently went up in price now charging $42 a month. I was not aware when I redid my membership 3 months ago. The man told me $24.99 a montbs but failed to tell me it will go up to $42. The staff there is amazing and its always clean but I am not happy about the price jump! read more

The Carwash Ripped my windshield wipers right off my car. Avoid at all costs. They went to look for them in the Carwash and came out with many, so im not the first or only read more

Immediately upon arrival you are assaulted with the heavy sell to sign up for a monthly membership. Rejecting this invitation brings visible disappointment from the gentlemen processing cars. He seems to take it personally and I suspect his car wash captors have given him a mandatory quota. I pulled around and had another employee try and navigate my car into the exterior car wash tunnel using cryptic hand movements. He was either trying to land a plane or fight off a swarm of bees. He was also mumbling incoherently. My confused response prompted him to point to a sign and ask "if I could read." The sign directed me to put the car in neutral - and I directed the mumbling, bee fighting employee to revisit his attitude. Also, this car wash only cleans the exterior of the car - they have no interior service. Avoid at all costs. read more

very bad experience here. Jefferson, the cashier, rang up my car wash and then had me move to the unlimited monthly line and I was given a lesser car wash while someone else was most likely given my better car wash. The vacuums do not work well either. read more

Worst car wash I've been to. Spent $21 for maybe 1 minute in the car wash tunnel. No employee pre wash, and the car came out dirty, with things that usually get washed off in the tunnel. Dave your money and go somewhere else. Will not be returning. read more

Very disappointed with Russell Speeders they need to communicate monthly chargers to customers more effectively.

They broke my side mirrror and didn't pay for it And they said it already was cause it had some scarrtches but it was a lie read more

I came by for my first time and the young lady up front named Eliani she was so sweet and helped me through everything and explained perfectly. I ended up getting a member ship and I don't regret it at all! She's the best so kind also I'm glad there are still people smiling out there in the world. Way to go Russel Speeders!! read more

I've been using the Norwalk location infrequently for years. When doing so I just wanted a single, quick, no-frills wash. The cashier staff are obviously working with some kind of commission/bonus for selling the monthly passes, because they push it hard. You generally have to say 'no' to them 2-3 times before they relent and let you buy a one-off wash. It can get annoying. Then I purchased a white car. What was I thinking? In a month of ownership I've been there twice, so I figured I would try the base-level monthly and see how it goes - I'll update my results with this program here later. One benefit of it seems to be the automated entrance once you have their sticker on your windshield. This place is a madhouse on weekends, with backup traffic lines blocking Route 7 sometimes. Anything to 'cut' the manual line (where the cashiers are busy trying to sell subscriptions) seems like a bonus. I avoid the place like the plague on weekends in any event. Wash wise, it is what it is. A goofy little automated soap blast and rinse. It's not concierge service detailing, nobody hand-dries for you, you just pop into neutral and go. Want to wash mats and vacuum? That's all self-serve in the exit lot. I've never noticed scratches/damage to my car in the years I have been going there. And to all of you other reviewers complaining about the ethnicity of the staff? Screw off, you racists. read more

Car Wash Tooling through Norwalk on a nice day, the car was the usual rolling pile of grime that it usually is. There are signs for this car wash all over the place and right off to the side I see the actual establishment and we popped in. They have a $6.25 exterior express wash and that was all that was needed as there was too much crap inside to stop and clean - plus I had to be elsewhere and didn't have the time for a full blown cleaning. The workers are all adorned in ties which was a nice touch - not the usual car wash rabble you get in my neighborhood. After paying and pulling up to the track (where they have a cool mirror system to help you line up your tires) you are greeted by a pair of dummies - yes mechanical ones (see photo) who do the prewash. The rest of the ride through the car wash is the usual thing and on the exit side, there is another dummy who waves you out... cute. In and out and for a few bucks, what more could you ask for? Hit it! read more

Russell Speeders - One of the dummies that work at the car wash... - Car Wash Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I can only give three stars because they no longer pre-wash the car and it seems like the car goes through the wash too fast because it comes out dirty and soaking wet. The free stuff they offer is good, other than the vacuums are a little pricey, compared to other places that offer them for free! read more

The express wash "WILL SCRATCH YOUR CAR." This isn't my opinion, this is what they literally told me when I asked for the Express Wash. I've been here before so I'm used to the uncomfortable upsell every time, but if this place is literally offering a wash that they know will scratch your car I'd say stay as far away as possible. After about the 3rd time I told the guy I just wanted an express wash and he then told me it would scratch my car after trying to upsell me twice, I backed out of there and got the hell out of dodge. The dude had the nerve to yell after me "I'M TALKING!" Absolutely unbelievable. Stay far, far away. read more

I have been a Unlimited Member for a few months now. I can't get over how convenient it is. The endless amount of cleaning supplies is so amazing! Thank You ! Thank You! Thank You! Thank you EMILY and JAZ ! read more

I bring my card to russels nearly every week without issues with the unlimited subscription. But today when I went tthe wash ripped off a piece of my factory trim on my Land Rover. I went back about an hour later after realizing what happened and they simply handed me back the piece but did not offer to make the situation right in any way as you pay expect a business to do. You can see in the photos that the car wash left many dings and scratches on the trim piece. I feel that I may end up cancelling my account and going with another company which may provide better services without leaving damage in your car. read more

Russell Speeders - Trim piece after I placed it back on the car. - Car Wash Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

See all

This place absolutely sucks. Rude staff, crappy service. Overpriced. Don't even waste your time.

Came by for a quick car wash and proceeded to be harassed by the staff for not wanting to sign up for a monthly plan. Even told me that I was being foolish to get my white car washed when it's going to rain later on tonight. They need to offer the plan and then LET IT GO. read more

I went to get my car washed after the recent snowfall, and all the ice melt over the roads. Number one, I had to fight to get into position and squeeze into the line where the people who have memberships go. They seem to think that they have the upper hand because they have a membership, and I was in the lane where you pay cash, and since it was busy, I had to literally fight to get in front of someone. The gentleman who took my money was of no help at all. You would think at least he could have assisted me in getting into the line in front of the people who think because they are members they can just keep going. Then I wanted to vacuum out my car, or at least some of it, after it was washed, and the change machines are no longer there, and you have to use a credit card for the vacuums now. I couldn't really figure out how to do it, and of course, God forbid there was anyone around to assist me; no customer service whatsoever. It's a disgrace. Everything is now geared to people having a membership, which they try to sell you over and over. THAT they have time to do while you are paying cash for your car wash. It's absolutely awful. While I was waiting in the line for the wash, I remembered my antenna wasn't pushed down, and I asked the gentleman whose job it is to guide you into the actual car wash if he could put it down for me, and he looked at me as if I was insane. I am never going back here. No customer service whatsoever, and now you have to use a credit card to pay for anything extra. Really a shame. read more

Russell Speeder's is a tremendous value. Especially here in Fairfield county where one gets little for the price paid. Great at wash and a fantastic 15 minute wash, wax and interior cleaning. Yelpers get your ride in here! Recently pushing cars through too fast. And I'm paying the monthly fee on 2 cars. Little soap. No heated treatment today. Come on Russel...let's get it back on track read more

The car wash isn't that great if you want your wheels or wheel wells clean. For 11.50 the basic wash should be a bit better. The staff hates you unless you buy their unlimited wash membership. read more

This is a decent, no frills drive through car wash. While the machine does a good job and the staff is friendly, the dryers don't dry my truck well enough on the rear and I always get water spots. Besides that, the machine does a good job on the wheels and the rest of the car. Most of the time you will see customers pulled over on the street by the exit drying their cars themselves. I realize that the low prices reflect this ($5 exterior, cheapest in the area), but having a few guys outside drying cars would go a long way. read more

Love this place. Fast. Clean. Gone. Why would you go anywhere else. I used to go to Splash but it took waaaaaaay too much time read more

Quality continues to decline. They also lose power occasionally, not good. Time to move on.

Even though they've raised their prices a bit over the years, Russell Speeders is still my fave. Everyone is so super nice and they're always updating and improving. The way-too-friendly car wash robots freak my kids out a bit, but nothing kills a few minutes better than a pass through some "hot lava" and "hedgehog tornadoes". I was totally grateful when my husband gave me the Monthly Unlimited for Christmas. It deserves mention that I don't mind taking care of my own interior, so the drive-through and self-serve vacuum & mat wash areas are fine by me. Stick to Splash (and their crazy prices) if you'd rather wait inside and have someone else take care of your crumbs and dusty dash. read more

They finally got back with me and credited my account for the 10 months I was charged after cancelling my unlimited plan. I'm happy now as they made it right. read more

Just purchased the membership; really enjoyed the customer service; No issues with the car wash and kids love the different colors; only gone through twice and will update in two months. Most of the exterior looks great but back window comes out a little spotty. Wish the vacuums were free after paying for wash. read more
